Einkorn Texas Sheet Cake Recipe

Several weeks ago I placed an order for the brand new Einkorn Flour from Young Living to give it a try after learning about the benefits of einkorn over what I have always used.

I will admit that after experimenting with other gluten free baking products that always had a strangely dense texture, I was pretty much expecting this cake to turn out similar. My family is not at all a fan of the gluten free treats I have tried to pass off as the real thing and after one taste they never asked for more.

The last cake I made was from a popular gluten free mix and it sat on my counter for almost a week, untouched!

So you can imagine why I assumed the same thing was going to happen again using the Young Living Einkorn Flour.

I did not tell anyone that there was anything different about this cake other than the fact that it was a sheet cake since none of us have ever tasted a sheet cake before.

A couple things that surprised me was the fact that you literally use a cookie sheet to bake it in which is why it is called a sheet cake. Also, this delicious recipe only uses a couple ingredients making it a pretty frugal dessert recipe!

Optional: Add any toppings you’d like such as nuts, coconut or chocolate chips to the top.

*Saving Dollars and Sense Tip: For a thicker “frosting” you can also add 3 cups of confectioners sugar to the icing recipe.
